1961 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops

80-card set of regular sized cards Issued by Nu-Card, Inc., followed on the
footsteps of their over-sized 1960 issue. The cards again featured newspaper
style baseball highlights ('Scoops'). Printed in red and black, the card
fronts resemble a newspaper's front page headline story with photo with the
"news article" on the back. The cards showcase some of the baseball's most
interesting highlights in it's first 100 years. The 80 card 1961 Nu card Scoops
set is numbered from 401-480.

Auction Regulating Agencies

Some other ways to sell your baseball cards

Auctions are a very popular way to sell vintage sports cards.
My two reasons why:
#1 Desirable items tend to get top dollar (or better !)
#2 Everything goes
... This can be good - Everything gone, final total likely reasonably high
... or can be Very Bad - Everything gone, but at unexpectedly low prices

• Donate to charity for the tax write-off
Not selling but perhaps the easiest with still a possible return.
ASSUMPTIONS:
#1) You are one of the RARE tax payers left in America
#2) We are talking about mostly "junk" from late 1980's, early 1990's.
Consider keeping your better stuff for one of the sell options and donating
rest to charity. Tax deductions used to be based on lesser of what it cost
and "What-it-is-Worth". For the "What-it-is-Worth" part I use Beckett which
usually turns out to be higher than what you paid. Check with your tax guy.

Q7: What are some additional useful to know baseball card collecting terms ?

(part 3)High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the
baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule
progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards
, Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product
was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds
for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set.
Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution
in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product
will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called
a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of
vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic
evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a
"like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little
value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in
his first year of trading cards.

Series - a group of cards within an issue deliberately split up by the manufacturer
to distribute at different times of the year. (i.e.- vintage 1st series cards 1-100 were released in April and 2nd series cards 101-200 were released in July, etc.).

Short Print (SP) - a card printed to a lesser quantity than other cards in a set. Many
recent short prints are also individually & serially-numbered.
